Tudor - BB GMT vs BB58 Blue

[Jagamov]

I own both and they are both great.

You really need to see them in person and see which one speaks to you and decide what do YOU really want.

The BB58 is more comfortable to wear on the daily. It disappears on my wrist, much like my 5-digit Sub.

But the GMT is such a cool watch.

Get both!

BB58. No question. The look and proportions are simply perfection.

Love my BB GMT!! It's so balanced, and sits on the wrist so well.. Recently added a Vanguard strap and it's so perfect!!

Judging from your current collection smaller watches seem to be your preference. If that's the case I would suggest BB58 over GMT as that is quite a bulky watch.

BB58 easy. Great looking watch and comfortable. The GMT is too thick for me…not as comfortable and don’t like the look of a thick watch on the wrist.

Tudor GMT on bracelet with two links removed is 175g. It ultimately proved too heavy/bulky for my flat 7” wrist. Nice watch, though, and I had no issues with mine. I kept the BB58 blue.

Buy what you like most.

BB58 over BBGMT if you’re overly concerned about the size. Wait for BB58GMT to come out which i am sure it will

A month or so ago I tried on the BB GMT and darn if the sucker wasn’t just too chunky for my liking. Fast forward to yesterday, and my amazing wife surprised me with this beauty. I’m one lucky SOB. Wears like a dream.

I’m considering a Tudor BB GMT or a Tudor BB58 Blue to add to my collection of a Nomos Orion 38, Rolex Explorer 39 MK2, and 1861 Speedmaster Pro. To do so, I’d sell my Datejust 116200 white dial that hasn’t gotten much wear at all since getting the Explorer 6 months ago. Basically it only gets worn when I have that guilt feeling of “it’s there, I should probably wear it” but it’s not like I’m excited to put it on or anything.

I’m “on the list” for a BLRO but I’m pretty resigned to the fact that isn’t going to happen and if it does, it’ll be a few years. So part of me wants the GMT to tide me over until someday when the BLRO might come in. Then if I love it, hooray!, especially since the BLRO is mostly a fantasy.

I’m concerned about the heft of the BB GMT because I previously had a 1st gen ceramic Seamaster 300m that I ended up selling because it was a bit cumbersome for a daily wear. Not horribly so, but it was noticeably annoying at times. Now, this wouldn’t be a daily wear like the SMPc was but I surely don’t want a watch that’s annoying when on wrist.

Everything I’ve read about the BB58 sounds like the size is simply perfect. (If only the GMT came in a 58 case, sigh). It would add some color variety to the lineup and if it isn’t a daily, no worries about monkeying with the date. Just a few cranks if the crown, set it and go. I love the look of the 58 too, but I have a bit of a GMT hankering since I’ve never had one.

First world problems for sure. But curious if you guys have ideas.

Thanks!!

If the Omega was too cumbersome for you, then don’t get the BB GMT. It’s a beast. A lovely one but it’s substantial. Some love it, some don’t.

The BB58 wears like a champ.

Edit:
NRA (never read ahead) - hahaha. I should have read the last post. Great choice, from a great woman!! Enjoy!!
